Indoor Air Quality Program

The Department of Health Indoor Air Program began in the late 1980’s. Its goal is to improve the health of Floridians by reducing exposure to indoor air contaminants. The primary function of this program is to provide advice and expertise to Floridians with indoor air problems in residences, schools, health care and public facilities. Our highest priority is given to helping solve health problems when a physician suspects that indoor air quality may be a contributing factor. The program currently consists of a statewide indoor air quality coordinator in Tallahassee, and environmental specialists working through County Public Health Departments to provide Indoor Air Quality expertise to the public.

Note: As of July 1st, 2003, the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act (FCIAA) is no longer part of the Radon and Indoor Air program, but part of the Division of Tobacco and Health Access. The Florida Clean Indoor Air program is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of workplace smoking regulations.  Call the FCIAA hotline at (800) 337-3742, or (850) 245-4281.
